WASHINGTON (Terror Monitor) — The U.S. Department of State has warned that Iran-backed groups could target American citizens and interests worldwide as tensions in the Middle East remain elevated.
In an updated travel advisory, the State Department urged U.S. citizens, particularly those in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution, monitor local news, and follow security guidance issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
The advisory also warned that flight cancellations and periodic airspace closures could disrupt international travel.
The State Department said U.S. diplomatic facilities outside the Middle East have also been targeted in the past and cautioned that Iran-backed groups may seek to attack U.S. interests, diplomatic missions, or locations associated with American citizens around the world.
